Description
Ok this is a page of sketch paper i just doodled on, for practice on certain animals. To attempt a more realistic style, and also still show some of my own original style. I must say i'm impressed with these outcomes.
Here are some other practice sheets i did in the past.
2008 Practice page:
2009 Tiger Practice <---((first time ever drawing tigers))
I would like to take this time to thank all who have ever helped, inspired, and encouraged me to draw, and continued doing what i love doing. ^^
For always being there to help me out with my comic, and/or my style improvements. Also, for sending me this amazing book that has helped me with this sheet. [link] ((Here if anyone else would like to use it, feel free to. ^^ ))
For always encouraging me, and being a great role model to me. She inspired me to draw big cats and Ginga.
For always being a great friend to me. She even taught me a pretty kool, and easy way to draw paws. Thank you hun means a lot ^^. Also, i used her style to learn how to draw the canine head better.
This girl is the one i worship, she's an AMAZING ARTIST!, and a great friend. I want to be able to draw like her. She's always there for me when i'm down, or need someone to talk to. She always seems to know the right thing to say. ^^
This girl has known me for a good long while, and i her. She has helped me improve many times, and for that i thank her. She is one of those very few people who know how to give a fair Critique, without hurting one's feelings.
THESE GUYS ARE OTHER INSPIRATIONS / ROLE MODELS
There are more i just can't name them all ^^

True, but may I suggest that you make them more fluffy? That could help out with them.

So sorry it took me so long to comment dear! Things have been... hectic for me.
But this really does brighten up my day. You've produce amazing work, and such an improvement I see from the last practice sheets. It's great to see that you're trying to improve your work, that shows real ambition. This is really great work, you should be very proud of yourself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's ok hun i completely understand ^^
aawww 
i am proud of this sheet but not to proud ^^
are there any other tips you could maybe mention to me?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Must.... CRITIQUE.
Everything here is overall fabulous, and I especially love your horses. :3
One thing that bothers me a bit is your animal's 'bubble pads'. The pad it too outright from the rest of the foot, making it look inflated.

thanx hun ^^
and i'm working on editing them but that is also how i have always drawn paws and i like it after all my style isn't full realism it's semi-real/ cartoonish ^^
but thank you for you tip ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh i'm so proud to be one of your inspirations 
This book that =nekonotaishou showed you, seems to be pretty heplful, i just jumped over it, i'm sure this can help me too, especially with my horses anatomy 
I see some improvements there, you often have many hard edges in your linearts but here they are getting softer. And i like your Gingadog portraits 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well you helped me back when i was still new here you showed me how to give my dragon muscles and such ^^ you helped me so much ^^
yes it is ^^ i used it mainly for the Tiger and bear the others i did my self my horse was by memory ^^
awesome glad it can help some one else ^^
and thanx i REALLY love the portraits too ^^ i'm thinking of coloring the Neera and great dane one ^^

Thanks for the mention! 
This is pretty impressive! I see a huge amount of improvement in both skill and understanding of form 
I'm thrilled to hear that the book helped (it is amazing, isn't it? 
As for critiques, I have a few, but they're mostly of the suggestion kind.
One, the characters are basically only drawn in profile (with one exception), I'd recommend practicing as many different angles as possible; and not only for the characters' heads, but their eyes, tails, feet, etc. as well. Two, I see no construction lines :C While it's not always necessary to use them, I do strongly recommend them (and all of my art teachers would back me up on that) drawing that way helps understand the forms, how they interact with each other. Plus, laying the foundations for a drawing before the details helps keep things in proportion and makes more difficult poses easier.
Last, but not least 
I look forward to seeing your art develop

no problem hun anytime ^^
yes it helped me mostly with the Tiger and Bear ^^ i will reff to it in the future too
thanx for your tips ^^
i have i ready started a practice sheet off different poses and such and as for those Construction lines i hate using them... i only use them for my dragons.... i've tried with dogs and such but they always came out looking funky >< i don't really like using them....
lol o so they don't have a dew claw? i wasn't sure on that XD but the paws do have 5 toes i just added a dew claw by mistake XD and ya i saw that but said nothing for i figured you saw it already X3... lol you can just say it lost the toe in the bear trap or something XD
thanx hun ^^ just know i am continuing to practice this style but i will now and then draw in the Ginga style too for i enjoy doing it and i don't how it would hurt to do it now and then
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should still try to use them more often
Keep drawing Ginga style as well, if that's what you enjoy C: after all, no one (that I know of) said 'stop drawing Ginga'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i've tried and it doesn't work for me with animals so some reason i may try it now and then but i don't think i will use them....
and thanx i will ^^
and not trying to nag but.... any idea when your comic will continue? ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly, if you intend to write a comic where there will be multiple characters interacting in a single panel, you need to learn this stuff. It will help you keep their bodies constant and in proportion. It'll only not work as long as you let it not work; trust me I was there, except it was humans it didn't work on.
I know I'm being pushy and annoying, but I know what I'm talking about here
here's an exercise/challenge I'd like you to try, if you don't mind: Draw a wolf/dog in one of these poses [link] [link] but from a different angle than the photo, and not directly in front or from the side 
Not nagging, I want to continue working on it, too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i use something like it just lines to tell me were there at and stuff so i kinda do what your talking about...
i can't i'm to busy right now... and plus the links don't work the images won't load...
o ok kool good to know
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ah, thanks for featuring.
Looks like your style is a little into semi-realism? Good thing and you do it fell...nide to see too that you draw a quite different animals and expecially horses are hard ones. Canine's paws are done very well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no problem hun
and yes that is the style i'm trying to lean towards ^^
thanx for your kind words means a lot to me
like to see you like the paws i do ^^
is there any tips you can give me to improve????
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The best thing is I don't have any tips. Just keep drawing.
